This return uses to claim a deferral of U.S. tax on the undistributed income earned under these plans. Alternatively, participants in these plans will automatically be eligible for U.S. tax deferral. This return is no longer required to file for U.S. citizens or have a Canadian registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) or registered retirement income fund (RRIF), or that are a member of a Canadian registered pension plan (RPP) or a deferred profit sharing plan (DPSP).
